ACME vs. Local 1776 UFCW-Contract Negotiations, Chapter 2

Jun 27, 2009 20:37

Our union meeting at the Spectrum was long, but at the end of the night 95% of us voted to reject ACME's contract proposal. ACME is playing hardball and we are willing to bat.

ACME has told us that we cannot hand out handbills outside of the store according to Article 25 of our contract. Perhaps they didn't think we'd check the contract, but Article ( Read more... )

Union workers are driving Acme into the ground. The prices are way to high and it is because of the union wages. No one should be paid 18 an hour to operate a cash register. The union worker's greed is going to cause Acme to go under. Just like GM and the Steel companies before them. Unions are a thing of the past and have no place in todays world.

It is thinking like that that has brought our economy to what it is. So we should let companies do as they please? We should let them eradicate our seniority and health benefits? When businesses do as they please and have nobody to check them we get this: our economy. I have thought about the pros and cons of having unions. Why don't people deserve to get a living out of their jobs? You think working at a grocery store takes no skill? You try dealing with customers all day and appeasing them. I see more tact in my coworkers than I see in many other people. For all the times we get trampled I know more and more that they DESERVE what they get paid.
